9 SSI Benefits for Children Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pays monthly benefits to disabled children living in households with limited income and resources.

12 When the Child Reaches Age 18 We no longer count the income and resources of parent(s) for eligibility If the child continues to live with parent(s) but does not pay for food or shelter, a lower SSI payment may apply We make a new disability determination using the adult rules
